Do you have a mentor within the fitness industry?

Yes, on several levels.

Some, I’ve trained with for many hours – Sue Hitzman of MELT, my RYT-200 yoga instructor, and several of the educators and management within Zumba. Also, they physical therapist who helps put me back together whenever I do something stupid and need to be put back together; an hour with him talking technically about what I did to myself, how to fix it, and any ramifications for my clients is like taking a half-day seminar.

Moderate mentors – those presenters who I’ll attend workshops from again and again, and will read anything they have published, but we have had little direct contact.

Indirect mentors – people I’ve only attended a time or two, or read a few articles, but I like what they’ve had to say and have learned a new perspective from them.
